Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: A. sent word
The sentence “As per my instructions he sent a word to me informing me of the sick man’s condition” is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning. The word “word” is used in the sense of “message” or “communication.” The sentence is in the simple past tense, which indicates that the action of sending the message happened at a specific time in the past.
The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:
- Option B, “had sent a word,” is in the past perfect tense. The past perfect tense is used to indicate that an action happened before another action in the past. In this sentence, there is no other action in the past that the action of sending the message could have happened before.
- Option C, “sent words,” is plural. The word “word” is singular, so the sentence should be “sent a word.”
- Option D, “No improvement,” is incorrect because the sentence is already grammatically correct and does not need to be improved.
